IL were arranged cross, an anchor. a
star, monogram piece and two ma
sonic emblems, the whole forming a
lovely floral setting.
The services opened with the chant
ing of apsalm' by a double quartette
composed of Misses Davenport ana
Rogers. Mrs. A. M. Bowdle, Mrs. f. II.
Wlnsor, Messrs. Lott. Ahern, II. e.
kratz and Silsby, with Mrs. Whitney
as organist. Rev. Mr.. Babcock of the
Episcopal church then read the funeral
service of that church. At the close
OF this the male quartette, Messrs. Lott,
Ahern and Kratz brothers sang a
touch1ngly beautiful anthem, and the
further services were then conducted
by the Masons, Master of the lodge,
Geo. a. Johnston, and Chaplain Nc
Farland officiating.
The procession then formed for the
cemetery and as the carriages and
other vehicles drew into line they ex-
tended fully three-quarters of a mile.
The services at the grave were entirely
Masonic, the burial ritual being read
with prayer by the chaplain, after
which the brethren passed in line
around thoopen grave, each one drop
ping a sprig of acacia therein, with the
usual ceremony. Thus ended the SER
vices of loving friends and brethren.

III Saves the Boys.

Among the facts that prove the sue
cess of prohibition in Kansas, I do not re-
member to have noticed that any one has
called attention to the almost entire cessa-
ton of juvenile drunkenness. Before the
adoption of prohibition nothing was more
common than to see boys in their teens
staggering about the streets of towns and
villages in all stages of drunkenness. |
used this terrible fact in the canvass for
prohibition in 1890. Prohibition has put
an absolute end to this. In Council Grove,
our county seat, where before prohibition,
l have seen in one day dozen boys in all
stages from tipsy to helpless drunkenness,
in the last five years [ have not seen one.
Then the town had a population of 1 200,
now over 3, 900, and the population of the
couusy has increased in the same ratio.
Three times as many people, but all the
boys saved from the drunEard- ker's
power. If prohibition has accomplished
nothing else, would not this be glorious
triumph? 1t is an unanswerable vindica-
ton of the wisdom of the policy = Cores

Cooper On temperance.

Senator Cooper is beyond question com
petent to talk of Pennsylvania politics, and
his letter to the New York Iri]uHe ON the
Temperance issue and the result Of the pass
age of the high license bill proves that he
is also competent to talk of national poll
tics as well.
lie reviews the attempts of the brewers
two years ago to defeat the Republican
ticket in Allegheny, and the campaign of
1887, in which the liquor votes were thrown
to the Democrats. He declares that the
result shows that more votes were drawn
to Republicans by the temperance legisla-
ton than were lost by it. He also believes
that New York and New Jersey could be
placed in the Republican column in 1888
should laws similar to the Pennsylvania
high license act be passed this W inter.
The fact that Democratic Governors
would be compelled to either sign or veto
the bill in both States Mr.. Cooper thinks
would only aid the Republicans the more,
since whichever course they took the Re-
publicans would profit by i5.-Ihil0. Meas.

Jersey. Ranks stand Firm,


in New Jersey, the canvass of which has
been completed, show results which, con
sidered in connection with all the circum,
stances, are very cheering to Prohibitions
lists. The aggregate Prohibition vote in
the State, on Assemblymen, is 1000
about 200 votes less than the aggregate
for Prohibition Assemolymen last fall, and
3, 401 more than the aggregate for the same
candidates in 1885.
Last years large Prohibition vote for
Assemblymen was drawn out by the great
canvass made by Gen. Fisk for the
Governorship. Gen. Fisk's immense pop
ularity brought thousands of new voters to
the support of the whole Prohibition ticket
1t would have been astonishing if a con-
siderable number of these had not either
refrained from voti ing or gone back to their
old parties in the merely local contests of
this year. But the figures show that the
loss is sma II, while the Prohibtionists have
actually polled about as large percentage
of the total vote as they had in the great
Fisk campaign.
Results this year cannot fairly be com
pared with those of 1886, for there was Il
general canvass for State ticket then,
while this year there was no State officer
to elect The last elections similar to the
present ones were those of 1885,, at which
the Prohibitionists polled 9, 100 votes for
Assemblymen. That aggregate was an
advance of 3, DAG over the st. John vote of
1884. This year the Proliibiti9nists make
an advance of more than one-third over the
vote of 1885, ana the st. John vote is more
than doubled.
The Prohibition votes 70: Sherifrs
throughout the State are in excess of those
for Assemblymen The votes for Coroners
aggregate II, ISL. All of this shows that
the ranks of the Prohibition party in New
Jersey stand firm.

A Handy Pocket Atlas.

An attempt TO put in pocket size the
contents of a large reference Atlas is
usually accompanied by rough, inaccurate,
and inelegant engraving and printing, but
in the New Pocket Atlas of the World,
published by Ivison, Brakeman & Co., 7j3
& 755 Broadway, New York, this is not
the fact. Ninety-one Maps containing
nearly every geographical point of interest
throughout the world, are given, and each
is q gem OF the ongraver's art. Delicately
yet distinctly colored. these maps are ex-
quisite illustrations of the best color print
ing to-day obtainable. While the Maps
| ave nothing to be desired by way of full
ness, they are fully UP to date, and show
every recent discovery, or change of
boundary.
One hundred and twelve pages of terse,
well-arranged, and accurate information
concerning every important country or
state on the globe, follow the maps in this
compact volume. In fact, the book is not
only a comprehensive Atlas, but also a
condensed Gazetteer of the whole world,
and all put in an attractive and substan-
tial binding, and sold for fifty cents. II

ceipt of this sum the publisher mail it to

idea in order to get the thinking men of
that party to act together. You have to

Tobaeco-Shops and Impurify

pictures displayed in many tobacco-shops
1t says
"The window Of the average tobacco
shop is place into which no true woman
can look without a blush nor any child
without bruise upon its tender moral ma
ture. The indecent plaeards Of the most
degrading theatre are pure when compared
with the disgusting and bestial pictures
that flash with gaady coloring and licen-
tious posiuring from the show cases and

tobacco is retailed.'
